How about a mutual saving of each other's asses? He gets to be the white knight this time and next time, she's the white knight and he's the damsel.

PERFECT!

And, oddly, when *he* is the damsel and *she* does the rescuing... it is much more likely that she will actually go all limp and weak in his arms and Want To Be Made All Better With Sex.

Sounds like a good ending to me!

ME TOO!!
